Personally I’d have the supplementary electrode connected, and I do in my own house, due to island mode. FYI for an SWA sub main/distribution circuit on TT, then the best way is a switchfuse with BS88-3 fuse and a 100mA S type RCD. Then use switched neutral RCBO’s downstream to maintain selectivity. It’s really not much worse than TN system and having a switchfuse with a main switch isolator rather than the RCD as above. It’s much better than a sub main from an MCB which I see all the time! -
I think it could be either. You won’t be putting dripping wet coats in there, I assume, so as long as you get air movement and thus air changes it doesn’t matter. Which do you need to balance your system? (I should add that the above is guesswork mind, I’ve not a clue based on experience, but hey, it feels good guessing with confidence 😉 -
Just had a thought, could I strap the trusses to the piers instead of strapping the wall plate ? As the straps are to prevent lift, a twisted strap wrapped over the trusses and screwed to the concrete piers should achieve the same result if I’m not mistaken -
Yes potentially the straps would then be over 2m apart though, and I assume the straps and screws would need to be stainless steel ?

Hi, We have varied from our original plans, and incorporated a walk in wardrobe off our bedroom. The room is 1.9m x 1.6m, and we are likely to fit it out with a kit like this from Ikea: https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/pax-corner-wardrobe-white-stained-oak-effect-s99217996/#content But.... should the MHRV in this space be a supply, or an extract? I can see the benefits to both... but am leaning toward a supply? If supply, I think fitting it close to the inside corner or the wardrobe would be best. All input appreciated Tim
